Chilly Day Out!

Hi friends! <3

After creating that spooky/Halloween themed coord last time, I was quite looking forward to a nice day out. However, it was pouring rain and very windy. I ended up delaying my plans until the next day instead. The weather was still chilly, but barely noticeable with all my layers. I went to the local mall which has a large antique store at one end along with a couple smaller vintage/collectables type stores. I collect Disney pins (especially Duffy and Shellie Mae ones) and wanted to see if there were some new ones to find for my collection. It's also just fun to wander around and see all the interesting items on display.


These tea cups and saucers were so pretty. I liked the one in the middle with the blue flowers...


And these adorable original Care Bears (from the 80's) <3


I also visited Duchess, the alligator. She is a rescue animal and the store has special permission to keep/display her for educational purposes. She has gotten a lot bigger since last time I was there... 


After the antique store, I passed by a toy store with these cute plushies called Squishables. I have the vanilla cupcake version at home. It is super soft and huggable. That cake slice one really tempted me though...


This pegasus was pretty awesome too!


The last store I went in was giving out free popcorn, which was a tasty, surprise treat. I didn't end up buying anything today, but I enjoyed my day out. It's been too long since I last frilled up. I may have to do this again sometime.

Wore a gothic coord in green x black x gold.

I made a few changes to the original coord; omitting the wrist cuffs, swapping the rocking horse style shoes for the shiny black ones, and adding a cloak.

Sleeping Garden Jsk Opening!

Hi friends! <3

I had been wanting a Moitie dress in green for awhile now, but the two that are on my wishlist are hard to find. When this one was announced, I jumped at the opportunity. I had saw this print before, but the jsk was high-waisted and too small for me. Luckily this one would fit me.

Thoughts:


I am so excited for this dress! <3 I went with the size 13 and in the short length (bust: 91-105cm, waist: 77-87cm, length: 92.5cm). There was a size 9 which was slightly smaller, but I was afraid of it being too small and wanted to have some breathing room as well. It fits me comfortably at 98cm bust with a little room to spare. The back has partial shirring, along with a side zip and hook closure. 

Interesting to note, is that there are no waist ties. I suppose one could adjust the fit via the front lacing. The bodice part is made of thick fabric while the skirt portion is thinner and lightweight. It is lined. The print features a cemetery with spooky looking trees, gravestones, crosses, angels, etc. I especially like the use of different shades of green. I'm looking forward to wearing it sometime soon!
